HR 7870 United States House · 119th Congress

ICE Standards Act

This bill, titled the ICE Standards Act, mandates several reforms to how U.S. immigration officers are trained and operate. It requires annual training on use of force, de-escalation tactics, and constitutional rights, along with the use of body-worn and dashboard cameras for all officers. The legislation also requires officers to wear visible identification unless under specific safety exceptions, prohibits enforcement actions in schools, hospitals, places of worship, and polling places except in emergencies, and mandates verification of citizenship before making arrests. Additionally, it establishes a strict prohibition on deporting U.S. citizens and requires notification to local law enforcement agencies before federal immigration operations begin.
